Fetish



The Fetish is a demon similar to a Marionette, but the puppet it inhabits was created by demons, meaning it is stronger, faster, and smarter than a Marionette. The puppet sports many feathers, and has an bird-like head, and it carries a pair of flaming wind-and-fire wheels, which it can cast at Dante like yo-yo's. Like a Marionette, it will usually lay motionless until Dante approaches it.

Many of the Fetish's attacks are similar to that of the Marionette — it can slash at Dante with its chakrams, emit an evil cry that will hang him up on demonic strings while it gouges at him, and wrap itself around him, pecking at his skull with its beak. It is also able to suddenly burst forth a great gout of flame that makes it extremely difficult to get close to the Fetish. What makes this attack even more dangerous is that the Fetish usually waits to use it until Dante is next to it and unable to avoid the attack. Finally, if Dante gets too far away from it, it will often spin like a top and charge at him. This attack is extremely difficult to avoid, as it will usually hit Dante before the Fetish is in range to be knocked back, and it will follow Dante even if he jumps in the air. However, the Fetish can be knocked out of the attack if shot with a strong firearm, like the Grenadegun or the Nightmare-β.

Strategy
Well for single Fetish use High time or Magma drive and then run round behind it. If you were unlucky enough and it blocked you attack - quick roll away. For group of Fetishes use grenade-rolling, Vortex, or uncharged Meteors. If you far away from Fetish, you can use Roundstrip.

Background
A Fetish is an inanimate object that is believed to have supernatural powers. It is commonly used in Voodoo and similar West African beliefs, and fetishes can be or be composed of blood, bones, fur, claws, feathers, and certain plants.
